Razer unveils ultra-light Viper V2 Pro gaming mouse

Razer follows up its light Viper gaming mouse with an even lighter one. The new Viper V2 Pro wireless mouse drops more weight from 69g to 58g. But it does get more features that should appeal to esports players and enthusiasts looking for a precise, flick-friendly input for their games. It has the new Focus Pro 30K optical sensor, which promises 30,000 dots per inch resolution and 99.8% accuracy. It uses AI to guide tracking and has 26 levels of customization for height (when tracking starts or stops) versus the three levels on the original Viper. It has a dedicated DPI button, so you can tweak sensitivity even without using the software.

It also has the third-generation optical mouse switches that reportedly end accidental double-clicks and debounce delay (wait to filter out unintended input signals). It's also expected to last 25 percent longer, too. You can recharge it via USB-C. The Razer Viper V2 Pro retails for $189.99 in black or white.

Apple discontinues the iPod touch

Apple's last portable music player has now been discontinued. The company has said that it will continue to sell it while supplies last. But there won't be any new units made. This announcement marks the end of the digital music era that Apple started with the first iPod in 2001. The iPod touch was designed by the same team that later made the iPhone, and it was last updated in 2019. An iPod Classic was the first gadget I bought myself when I started working, so seeing this era close is quite nostalgic for me.
